With me, personal relationships are like my religion. I care that deeply about them. I am the complete opposite of a manipulative smoothie.

Tom doesn't have any principles, or if he does, he puts them aside whenever they're inconvenient. The truth hurts, doesn't it, Tom?

I don't accept what people say. I took something to be copied recently, to be enlarged and blown up, and they said it couldn't be done, and I went somewhere five minutes away, and they did it.

I don't miss acting. I don't even see movies. I don't see plays. I don't watch television.

I wouldn't even dare read the Torah, let alone attempt a witty observation on the Torah.

Everyone is having a harder time than it appears.

It's hard for me to answer a question from someone who really doesn't care about the answer.

Good acting is thinking in front of the camera. I just do that and apply a sense of humor to it. You have to trust the audience to get it.

It seems there are no rich on death row.

Cancer is enough to get my attention.

I enjoy comedic things. People don't understand it's the hardest thing to do. We have a ratio of 25-to-1 between good dramatic actors and people who are considered good comic actors.

It's all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for... it's all a monstrous, demented gag! So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?

Routine is not organization, any more than paralysis is order.

It is futile to fight against, if one does not know what one is fighting for.

There are no laws of nature; there are habits of nature.

It is not what you teach, but what you emphasize.

Self-love is as protective as the Deity; Disenchantment is as perspicacious as a surgeon; Experience is as provident as a mother. Such are the theologic virtues of marriage.

Tis human actions paint the chart of time.

Swim out of your little pond.

I don't understand why people don't understand that the world of TV should look like the world outside of TV.
